Leupold Mark 5HD Selected by Army Precision Sniper Rifle Program

Friday, March 6th, 2020

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear riflescopes and reflex sights, is pleased to announce that its Mark 5HD riflescope has been selected as the day optic for the U.S. Army’s Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR) program. Like all of Leupold’s riflescopes, the Mark 5HD is designed, machined, and assembled at their Beaverton, Ore. factory.

The U.S. Army Mark 5HD 5-25×56 will come in a proprietary flat dark earth coating and utilize the Army’s patented Mil-Grid Reticle. The Mark 5HD will be mounted on the USSOCOM selected MK22 Mod 0 based on the Barrett MRAD bolt-action multi-caliber system chambered in 7.62×51 mm NATO, .300 Norma Magnum, and .338 Norma Magnum.

“The Mark 5HD has been built from the ground up to deliver the unparalleled performance that the men and women serving our country overseas require,” said Sam Horstman, Director of Military Sales for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “And, like all of our optics, the Mark 5HD has been strenuously tested for durability, and fully meets the extremely high standards that the military demands. Our Soldiers need their optics to perform, and we’re glad to be able to offer a solution that’s built to deliver on those expectations.”

The Mark 5HD has been crafted to redefine accuracy, precision, and optical performance for long-range shooters. Three models – a 7-35×56, 5-25×56, and 3.6-18×44 – are available in both milliradian and MOA configurations. Pick one up and you’ll feel the difference: it’s up to 20 ounces lighter than other scopes in its class. Get behind one and you’ll see the difference, from its superior edge-to-edge clarity to its extreme low-light performance. With three revolutions of elevation adjustment, the Mark 5HD was made to max out the performance of the latest long range rifles and ammunition.

Leupold proudly provides its optics to the United States military, law enforcement, and government agencies across the country, and to the armed forces of many of our nation’s closest allies. No American optics company has held more U.S. military contracts than Leupold.

Waterproof, fogproof, and guaranteed to perform for life, the Mark 5HD is backed by the company’s legendary Lifetime Guarantee.

COVID-19 and the DECON7 Tactical Decontamination Solution

Friday, March 6th, 2020

(Eagle, ID – Owyhee Group Companies) The world-wide spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is dramatically increasing the awareness of the biological and chemical threats to our military and civilian population. Owyhee Group Companies and Inert Products have teamed up to offer Decon7 (known as D7) solution to military and municipal protection forces throughout the U.S. to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other biological and chemical threats. “D7 is effective in killing and neutralizing up to 99.9999% of bacteria, along with viruses like COVID-19 and other biological agents and chemicals”, notes Owyhee Group Companies CEO Doug Lodge.

The development of D7 came out of the U.S. government recognition of a need to combat bioterrorism after a nerve agent was released on a Tokyo subway, killing 12 and injuring another 1,000. D7 was developed to neutralize a wide spectrum of chemical and biological threats such as Anthrax, MRSA, COVID-19 and many more, without any corrosive or harmful effects to the surrounding environment. Unlike traditional disinfectants, D7 chemically cleaves the spore wall and neutralizes the mycotoxin inside. It also changes the osmotic pressure around the cell, which causes an imbalance in the internal cellular pressure resulting in the total collapse of the cellular membrane.

D7 is a 3 part solution that after mixing has a useful life of 8 hours. It can be applied using any traditional sprayer or fogging device and can be purchased in units as small a quart and as large as 500 gallons, depending on your application. One of the most popular options is the D7 BDAS+ Tacticial Spray, which is a 14 oz, self contained one time use application with about 40 seconds of spray. It’s pefect for use in emergency vehicles to neutralize pathogens from such things as blood, vomit, feces and toxins in the field.

Parties interested in learning more about D7, including a full list of the chemical, biological and toxic chemicals it can neutralize and how to apply it, can contact the Owyhee Group Companies at 208.938.6086 or visit a special feature page at owyheegroup.com/products/d7, which contains a full list of threats D7 can neutralize.

Agilite K19 – “The Plate Carrier Re-Defined” Now Shipping

Thursday, March 5th, 2020

The K19 Plate Carrier, which Agilite are calling “The Plate-Carrier Re-Defined” is officially shipping to the general public from today, March 5th.

They describe it has having numerous subtle but revolutionary features that no other plate carrier has as explained in the official video on the product page.

Designed, tested and battle-proven in Israel with some of the IDF’s most elite units, The K19 has been through 20 rounds with ISF SOF before officially being cleared for release today.

Unique features include a new Egress™ Quick-release system and proprietary Fast-Adjust™ Cummerbund that can be adjusted and fine-tuned in real time, by the wearer. Many modern plate carriers employ Quick-release mechanisms but they always come at the expense of not being able to adjust the fit easily, quickly and by yourself.

Other notable features include a one-size-fits-all cummerbund that actually fits well on all body sizes and types and a multi-size plate bag absolving the need to make complicated and risky sizing choices when buying.

You know the K19 will always fit you or members of your team regardless of your loadout or mission set. This is also important for procurement professionals who can be sure it will fit all their guys (or girls) well.

It is available in Multicam, Ranger Green and Black on the Agilite Website here or on GSA here.

JP Enterprises Introduces Law Tactical Series of Silent Captured Springs

Thursday, March 5th, 2020

Hugo, MN – JP Enterprises is pleased to introduce the Law Tactical series of Silent Captured Springs. This marks the first buffer spring substitution component to be named compatible by Law Tactical for use with their folding adapter.

Through a collaboration with Law Tactical, JP has developed an alternative design for their extremely popular Silent Captured Spring system that is fully compatible with Law’s Gen 3 folding stock adapter. Beyond simple function, the Law Tactical series of buffer springs reaches a previously unmet threshold for durability and safety.

“Law Tactical takes the real-world use of their stock adapter very seriously,” says JP founder and head of product development, John Paul. “While some third-parties have sold adapters to use SCS with the Law adapter, nothing met their demanding function testing regimen until now.”

Both the Silent Captured Spring and original Law Tactical folding adapter debuted in 2012 but previously lacked any true compatibility due to differing designs. Since that time, the Law Tactical folder has risen to become the premier device of its type for ultra-compact storage and transportation for rifles and AR-type pistols. JP Enterprises is pleased to have had the chance to work with an industry innovator and to provide the superior buffering function of the Silent Captured Spring for Law’s signature product.

The Law Tactical series Silent Captured Springs are available for both small-frame (AR-15) and large-frame (AR-10 platforms). Standard configurations will function in most rifles with alternate heavy buffer models optimized for specialty use such as suppressed or short-barreled rifles also available. A conversion kit to reconfigure existing Silent Captured Springs for use with the Law Tactical folder will be available soon.

As with the Law Tactical folding adapter, Brownells has signed on to serve as the premier distributor for Law Tactical series Silent Captured Springs with models available now at www.brownells.com
